Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lumber Bridge, NC.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lumber Bridge offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
